l AVOID RISK IN BUYING PAINT. You take a good deal of risk if you buy whito load without having abso lute assuranco as to its purity and quality. You know whito lead is often adulterated, often misrepresented. But there's no need at all to tako any chances. The "Dutch Hoy Paint er" trade mark of the National Lead Company, tho largest makers of gen ulno whito lead, on a package of "Whito Lead, is a positive guarantee of purity and quality. It's as depend able as tho Dollar Sign.

IS. 1 Stanford of OkMulkee and read by him at the republican rally in Hinton theatre last night: The shades of night were falling fast, As through the northern states there passed, A man bowed down with shame and grief, Who bore this message to his chief: "I'll not resign." Hut twilight o'er the scene then fell, He thought the matter over well, And realized the havoc wrought, There came upon him this strange thought: "I might resign." He thought of duty, derelict, Ho thought of Homer Benedict, He wondered if the Times is read, And to himself he calmly said: "I could resign." Ho slept, and on his vision burst The phantom of this strange man, I fearst, An avenging angel then it seemed, And in his sleep he fairly screamed: "f n-.'y resign." At midnight he had met the chief, The consultation there was brief; T...

It seems never to have been used as descriptive of women. Jlut why not? Some women might wear the title with distinction, al though in a little different hciihu. For generations women liavo been en gaged in "mixing" reluctant .elements. Flour and font tor In their hands have combined Into flaky biscuit; and un congenial cousins have made up an agreeable family party. A woman at the head or a largo household has nood to be a good mixer, says the Youth's Companion. She may have three generations under hor roof" and dependent upon her care. With the children she must be as a child; with the grandmother she must see the wisdom of ago, oven beneath its feebleness; for the willful son she must mingle ready sympathy and linn control.
